Re: Crank ground size vs new insert rod size
Herm, gogrannygo said he would be using new insert rods. I gave him size tolerances that are consistent with inserts. Yes, exactly what is "std" for a 1 1/2" journal is different between babbitt and inserts. Yet another Model A can of worms that others found out about the hard way!

Re: Crank ground size vs new insert rod size
Mike, the way we would do it is get the rods first, then grind the shaft to fit for .001-50 thousandths clearance.

Re: Crank ground size vs new insert rod size
gogrannygo: You keep mentioning re-boring the head. Do you possibly mean re-boring the block?

Re: Crank ground size vs new insert rod size
Mark your block or any parts you send out for work in a way you can indentafy it. I took my diamond block to a will known model a shop trusted them because they wrote my name on it. Went back about a month latter to check to see how things were going. Man said what Diamond black right then I new it was gone. He said that trere is no blocks in the shop with my name on it. Silly me for trusting some people. Richard/Ca.
